Is anybody interested? Has anybody done this before? I'm doing my 4th round starting March 1, and I'd love to have people to talk to about it!

    I always direct people to the website! It's great and offers a lot of information for free. http://whole30.com/whole30-program-rules/

    Hey Braxmed, I just started learning more about this, and I think Im in! Will dedicate a couple of days to learn more about this but it looks like just what I could use right now :) What was the most challenging part of it for you the last times?

    An extreme elimination diet for people with digestive/allergy issues. Not really designed for weight loss, but because it's so very restrictive...people lose weight.

    Hi Jannick! For me, it was the sugar. It's everywhere. I love bacon and pasta sauce, and it took me a minute to find things that were compliant. Most tuna has soy, which is not compliant as well! Just takes a bit of getting used to. I've always made it the full 30 days and some times, I've gone a little longer!

    Hi! Hm, sounds like Im going to have to prepare really well for this if I go for it. :) Sugar is my drug, so staying away from that totally is whats appealing with this - I need to kick that addiction!!! Any bodily symptoms like headache or stomach-issues doing this the first time? Cool that you have finished it every time!

    Hi this is intriguing. I eat healthy overall, a lot of fruits and vegetables and rarely eat meat, but then go nuts and eat chocolate and get fries and a cheeseburger.

    I'm in. I was thinking of eliminating red meat, poultry and dairy products for Lent; so this challenge came at the right time. I'll just eliminate the rest as well. I'm starting March 1st. I hope that's alright. I think I'll be able to learn a lot about my body and its reactions to certain foods.

    I have tried this, it's very restrictive. I made it 11 days my farthest. But those 11 days I felt my best ever! The book "It Starts with Food" is VERY informative of why the restrictions. The idea is to restrict and then add things back in one at a time to find out what is and is not a problem for ya. This has become a "Fad Diet", which I don't like, but hey whatever it takes to get people in and focused on getting healthy. It's purpose is not for weight loss at all. That's just sort of a side effect.

    I do believe in this program, and with my own food issues you'd think I could stick with it, but it's been very difficult. I am tempted to try again, I am always considering it.

    So... you guys who are doing this, are you all using the whole30-website and subscribing to the Real Plan thingy there or are you just figuring it all out on your own? This is very tempting, but I dont want to decide until Im 100% sure Ill go through with the whole thing.

    Are you going to follow up here in this thread or in a FB-group? Or how?

    Hey, just read about this and I would love to join. Am doing something similar already, except for the milk and ghee part. A week ago, I decided to go on a NO CARB no Sugar diet / alcohol . I just eat protein, vegetables . It's been hard but am sticking with it. I don't mind doing this challenge with you cos I think my worst week is over.

    I've done 1 round of while 30 it was great but went back to eating too much sugars (my drug of choice). I am currently doing a whole 30 with a twist of Paleo due to my allergies. I am already 9 days in and am very interested.

    I read part of the website that listed all the things you CAN't eat...but what can you eat? Just meat and veggies, fruit and nuts? I might be interested... Anyone have any success with this? I'm pretty addicted to sugar so this might help with that... o:)

    Anyone find they lost weight eating this way? Or just felt better in general?

    I just started reading the book. It's interesting and I will lurk while I read and decide if I can commit to it. That way I can ask you guys questions if I have any and maybe get started on my first 30 later! Thanks!

    I'm on day 3 of my Whole30. I've been surprised by how easy it's been the past two days. I'm loving how I'm feeling right now and look forward to noting changes in my palate and body.

    Just had a browse on the site -
    Cut out all the psychologically unhealthy, hormone-unbalancing, gut-disrupting, inflammatory food groups for a full 30 days.

    What does psychologically unhealthy mean in this context?

    I'm really feeling the pull toward doing this plan! The book is very interesting and I'm excited about the possible benefits I could see from it that really don't have anything to do with weight reduction, although that will likely be one of the great side effects! LOL

    I messed up one day and had wheat on March 8th. Otherwise I'm still going strong! It's been tough but my fitness and general health has improved tremendously. I'm determined to make it to the 31st.
